Thai Vegetable Egg Rolls
Thai Vegetable Egg Rolls
This is a simple version of Thai-style vegetable egg rolls. The filling cooks up in under 10 minutes, plus another 10 minutes to roll them up. The egg rolls can easily be made vegan, substituting with vegan fish sauce and egg-free wrappers. Serve the egg rolls with Thai sweet chili dipping sauce.
